Multiplicative isometries on the Smirnov class (Q657412)

The authors prove that \(T\) is a surjective multiplicative (but not necessarily linear) isometry from the Smirnov class on the open unit disk, the ball, or the polydisk onto itself, if and only if, there exists a holomorphic automorphism \(\Phi\) such that \(T(f) = f \circ \Phi\) for every class element \(f\) or \(T(f) = \overline{f \circ \overline{\Phi}}\) for every class element \(f\), where, in the case of the ball, the automorphism \(\Phi\) is a unitary transformation, and, in the case of the \(n\)-dimensional polydisk, \(\Phi(z_{1}, \dots, z_{n}) = (\lambda_1 z_{i_1},\dots,\lambda_n z_{i_n})\) if \(|\lambda_{j}| = 1\), \(1 \leq j \leq n\), and \((i_{1},\dots, i_{n})\) is a permutation of the integers from 1 through \(n\).
